RX Standard

Reviewed By yzept [all]
September 21st, 2022
Version reviewed: 10.0 on Mac

I have owned most of the versions since RX was first released, it is my go to for audio clean up and repair. I was a little disappointed with RX10 Advanced initially, as for the upgrade price it did not seem to offer a lot. However when I gave the Adaptive mode in Dynamic De-Hum a spin it was really impressive, version 9 reduced the level of hum, buzz and harmonics but 10 flat out eliminates it completely. Quite a few other tools seem to have been polished as well. Spectral recovery is also hugely improved and can convincingly supply the missing bass and treble in compromised recordings. If you already own RX9 advanced, this version is worth a trial as it is more polished with some new features that I found unexpectedly useful like aligning auto-generated speech to text words up with the dialog, so I could search easily for a word or passage in a longer recording. This seemed to work best in spoken word recordings, but they will probably tweak it for lyrics in the future. One surprise was the Repair Assistant, which I expected to be twonky and useless. I have found when my hearing is fatigued after a few hours it can be helpful as it suggests good starting settings to solve common problems in recordings. Overall, I would recommend giving it a trial, as you may find as I did that the upgrades are worth the price.

Intensity

This is one of my most used plugins, It seems to employ AI to simplify the tweaking process to get a great result. You can take almost any well mixed audio and use this to sprinkle pixie dust and make it more enjoyable to listen to. The presets are good, 'A Little Magic" is one of the better places to start exploring. I had some 'lounge room' recordings someone had done with great musicians and woeful acoustics. I used RX10 to tame the reverb and Intensity for an instant polish. The results were really good, with a releasable set of tracks. I have found it especially useful for giving a mix with good but uninteresting vocals more presence. You can demo it for 10 days free and it is really easy to use so giving it a try is not difficult. I own everything Zynaptiq make but this is the plugin of theirs that I use on most tracks.
